That clarity could help uncover more examples of active geological processes that were once hidden from view. In the words of Hua, “We made the observation that there could be something beneath ...

Dating key tectonic events in Japan's geological history has long been often challenging due to poor microfossil preservation from intense heat due to metamorphism. Researchers tackled this by ...

The geology of Venus presents a complex interplay between extensive volcanic activity, mantle dynamics and tectonic deformation. Recent studies have revealed that, in the absence of Earth‐like ...

A new study finds large amounts of “white hydrogen” may exist within mountain ranges, raising hopes this clean-burning gas could help supercharge efforts to tackle the climate crisis.

The Nuclear Waste Management Organization has launched a two-year engagement process to refine the site selection approach for Canada’s second deep geological repository to manage radioactive ...
